<p>Dear Marc,</p>
<p>thanks for pointing out my mistake, you made me happy, and also for giving the etymology of navagraha.
</p>
<p>By the way, "numerology" and "birth number 5" (internet) bring the same 9-er sequence, but never any hint for where this idea came from. Do you have any idea?<br>
</p>
<p>Best</p>
<p>Werner<br>

<br>
I am sorry I cannot help you solve the mysteries in that passage from<br>
Tongguk sesigi, but I hope you may find these notes of some use.<br>
<br>
> 九曜(skr. Nahagraha, often translated as “planets” or “luminaries”) <<br>
<br>
九曜 corresponds to Sanskrit navagraha with -v- like its Latin cognate novem.<br>
<br>
Graha, incidentally, is literally 'seizer' (and by extension,<br>
'influencer' - i.e., seizer of destiny); its root is gra(b)h, and its<br>
English cognate is grab.<br>
